Safety study of VS-041 for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests an investigational drug called VS-041 to see if it's safe and helps people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but doesn't relax properly (HFpEF). It may be an option if you are 50 or older and have stable heart failure symptoms.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 50 years+ - NCT07147114RecruitingPhase 4
Combined macitentan and dapagliflozin for heart failure with lung high blood pressure
This trial tests whether adding two medications—macitentan and dapagliflozin—together is safe and effective for people with heart failure and a certain type of high blood pressure in the lungs. It might help improve your symptoms and daily function.
BusanAges 19 years+ - NCT07077811Enrolling by invitation
Pulsed field ablation for heart failure with preserved pumping strength
This trial tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation for people who have both persistent atrial fibrillation and a type of heart failure (HFpEF). It aims to see if this ablation safely helps control the heart rhythm.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 84 recruiting hfpef studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hfpef trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hfpef trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
